The PBC fulfills the interests of the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ and of these alumni and friends in the business community to form an organized, national affiliation that strengthens the Scranton network in the business sectors. Membership on the PBC is open to alumni and friends who can help in accomplishing its objectives.Medical Alumni Council (MAC)

The MAC also keeps alumni health practitioners informed about campus developments, nominates students and alumni for scholarships and awards, conducts symposia for alumni in the health professions, and encourages financial support for the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ from these alumni. The Medical Alumni Council is dedicated to securing The ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ's place as the recognized leader in pre-health professional education in Pennsylvania.Council of Alumni Lawyers (CAL)
The Council of Alumni Lawyers seeks to advance the mission and reputation of The ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ by providing the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ and its students with an accessible and engaged network of alumni lawyers. Members of the Council utilize their experience and education, and leverage their professional networks, to actively support faculty, staff and administrators in leading the educational and professional development of Scranton students who plan to enter the field of law. The Council also serves as an example to the broader alumni community, encouraging greater involvement and investment in the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ’s strategic priorities and student success.
